Culture for Specific Orchids

An important part of the orchid hobby is expanding our interests. It is fun to try new and different orchids, and rewarding to succeed growing and flowering them. Like any hobby, reaching for new goals is an important part of the satisfaction we gain. While social media may be a good place to find out how to grow a species or hybrid, the information may or may not be accurate. The Culture Specific section is designed to inform and inspire you. Here we have gathered both new articles, and select reprints from the past written by contributing authors who are recognized authorities on their topics.

For detailed information on over 200 orchid genera and species within them, see Orchids A to Z (members only). Culture information is presented in a "recipe style" format and each entry contains an audio name pronunciation. You may also post questions about specific orchids at the AOS Forum.
